šŸ™ļø Mini-Challenge: What City Would You Like to Visit Next?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is an opinion + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Name one city you’d like to visit next • Explain why (culture, food, atmosphere, people, curiosity, etc.) • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence Any city is valid — famous or not. ā“ The Question What city would you like to visit next, and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) I’d really like to visit Tokyo next. I’m curious about the mix of tradition and modern life, and the city feels very different from anywhere I’ve been before. I’d love to explore different neighborhoods, try the food, and just experience daily life there. It feels like a place where you can never get bored. ✨ Your turn. Pick a city, explain what draws you there, and put it into words šŸŒāœˆļø

hat’s a hard question. I would divide my answer between a city in my country (Brazil) and an international city. In Brazil, I would choose Ouro Preto. It is a city I have never visited and it has many old, classical churches. In my opinion, its aesthetics and atmosphere capture the ā€œessenceā€ of the Brazilian countryside. As for an international city, considering my current level of fluency in foreign languages, I would choose Portugal, especially FĆ”tima, which has great symbolism and importance for Roman Catholics. It would be a very meaningful experience for me.
šŸ«šŸ’» Mini-Challenge: Language Schools or Learning Online — What’s More Effective?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is an opinion + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Say which you think is more effective: language schools or learning online • Explain why (go beyond one sentence) • You can talk about motivation, structure, flexibility, speaking practice, cost, etc. • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed There’s no correct answer — just share your honest view. ā“ The Question Do you think language schools or learning online is more effective? Why? ✨ Example Answer (English) I think learning online is more effective for most people. It’s more flexible, and you can choose content that fits your level and interests. Language schools can be useful for structure and social interaction, but they often move too slowly or too fast. For me, online learning works better because I can practice more and stay consistent. ✨ Your turn. Pick a side, explain your reasoning, and express your opinion in your own words šŸ’¬

I think it depends on the type of school and on the context. For example, if we are talking about someone learning another language in a foreign country, in a school located in that country, this is one of the best ways to learn. You will probably meet people with difficulties in different areas, others who are already fluent, and you will need to use the language you are learning all the time. However, if it is a school in your home country, and you do not seek exposure outside the classroom, but simply wait to become fluent naturally, you will not make much progress. In common cases like this (a school in your home country), I think it is better to focus on online learning. Many people even prefer this option, because it allows them to study in their own time and from any place. So, if the goal is mainly to obtain a certificate for work, I would choose online learning without any doubt. Ideally, an in-person course with a good and recognized certificate is great to take, but you should never depend on it alone.
šŸŽ¶ Mini-Challenge: What Song Always Puts You in a Good Mood?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is a fun, feel-good recommendation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Name one song that always puts you in a good mood • Explain why (the melody, lyrics, memories, vibe, etc.) • You can mention when you listen to it or how it makes you feel • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence No wrong answers — just honest expression. ā“ The Question What song always puts you in a good mood, and why? ✨ Example Answer (English A song that always puts me in a good mood is ā€œLucky Manā€ by The Verve. It has a calm, positive feeling that makes me slow down and appreciate what I have. I like listening to it when I’m walking or reflecting a bit. It reminds me that even simple things in life can make you feel lucky. ✨ Your turn. Share the song that lifts your mood — and tell us why šŸŽ§šŸ˜Š

Hmm, that’s a great question. I don’t usually listen to music to improve my mood (this sounds strange, I know). I mostly use music to study or to prepare myself for prayer, or I just listen to it casually on YouTube Shorts. But when it comes to songs that boost my mood, I would say Michael Jackson (especially Beat It and Billie Jean) and nightcore music. The reason is the energetic rhythm, which helps me express emotions and even makes me feel like dancing — even though I don’t actually dance, lol.
šŸŒ†šŸŒæ Mini-Challenge: City Life or Country Life — Which Do You Prefer?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is an opinion + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Say whether you prefer living in the city or in the country • Explain why (go beyond one sentence) • You can mention lifestyle, pace, people, nature, noise, work, etc. • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed There’s no right answer — just share what fits you. ā“ The Question Do you prefer living in the city or in the country? Why? ✨ Example Answer (English) I prefer living in the city because I like having everything close by. I enjoy the energy, the cafĆ©s, and the feeling that something is always happening. That said, I also understand why people love the countryside — it’s calmer and closer to nature. For now, though, city life suits me better. ✨ Your turn. City or country — pick a side and explain your choice šŸŒ†šŸŒæ
šŸŒ†šŸŒæ Mini-Challenge: City Life or Country Life — Which Do You Prefer?
I think it depends. I’m 19 years old, and in the countryside we generally don’t have many opportunities to grow in life, so city life tends to be better. For people who have many interests in culture and education, you don’t usually find these things in rural areas. However, when I reach retirement age, it would be a great idea to return to the countryside (in theory, I already live in a small town, so it would be more like returning). A more peaceful life is very appealing.
šŸ’° Mini-Challenge: If You Received 1 Million Dollars… What Would You Do?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is a fun imagination + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Imagine you just received US$1 million as a gift • Say what you’d do with it (one thing or several) • It can be realistic, generous, or a bit ridiculous — all answers are welcome • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence Have fun with it — there are no rules here. ā“ The Question If you received US$1 million as a gift, what would you do — and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I got one million dollars, I’d try to be responsible… at least at first. I’d invest a good part of it so future-me doesn’t get mad at present-me. But I’d definitely keep some money for fun — travel without checking prices, eat in nice restaurants, and maybe buy something completely unnecessary just because I can. I don’t need a yacht, but a few stupid, joyful purchases would be mandatory. ✨ Your turn. Imagine the freedom and put it into words šŸ’­šŸ’ø
šŸ’° Mini-Challenge: If You Received 1 Million Dollars… What Would You Do?
If I were to gain US$1 million, first I would pay off my fathers’ debts. After that, I would use part of the money to create an emergency fund, another part for investments, and the rest I would spend on religious items (icons, images, medals…), books, gifts for friends, donations to the Church and people in need, trips in Brazil and Europe, and courses I want to take… so many things, lol. One million dollars is about five million reais, so it’s a lot of money.

@Gabriel Silva I would say it’s a bit of both. Wealth is a great tool to help other people, because when you have wealth, you have the ability to choose how to use your money, and that makes it easier to help others.
